The Linwood Neighborhood District Association (NDA) is an officially recognized NDA in the City of Milwaukie.
A few annual programs and events in the Linwood Neighborhood primarily funded by Milwaukie's Neighborhood Grant Program include:
-
Annual "Movie Under the Stars": The Linwood NDA sponsors two free family movies in the field next to Linwood Elementary School every summer. The movies have become a popular and fun way to meet neighbors and have a great time.
-
Support of the Police K9 Program: The Linwood NDA has provided ongoing support of the Police Department k9 Program. The neighborhood donated grant funds for the purchase of a K9 dog and continues to help with funraising with the goal of aquiring a second K9 in the near future.
-
A partnership with Linwood Elementary School to replace their track: One of the most successful partnerships in the history of the grant program occurred in Linwood. The neighborhood partnered with the school to provide a significant amount of funding that was matched by fundraisers that the students, parents, teachers, and others worked very hard to coordinate. It was a great example of how the grant funding can be used as seed money to motivate others to volunteer and help to raise additional funding.
-
Support of the Milwaukie Dave Festival and Fireworks: Linwood annually donates both funding and volunteer hours to ensure that the summertime festival is a success.
